OUR STATESMEN 

AN ILLUSTRATED DIRECTORY OF THE FIFTIETH CONGRESS. 



THE PRESIDENT. 



THE Bancroft of another century when he writes 
the history of the present administration can 
only complete his task by writing the biography of 
(J rover Cleveland. With him the administration be- 
gins, has its fulness and passes to its end. No Pres- 
ident of this United States was ever so much the 
master of his situation. 

He has lived out Dr. Holmes' exquisite motto of the 
Autocrat,—" Every man his own Boswell,"— in a 
larger, different sphere. Mr. Cleveland's course in 
the White House seems to say to those who may 
come, after him: "Let every President be his own 
cabinet, his own congress, his own judiciary." 

Republican organs have dubbed his cabinet min- 
isters "clerks." The same authorities aver that no 
President lias bv the wanton and almost daily use of 
the veto power 'so defiantly challenged criticism as a 
usurper of the rights and duties of Congress. They, 
too, have boldly said 
that Mr. Cleveland's ap- 
pointments to the fed- 
eral judiciary, have no 
parallel in all the annals 
of favoritism pure and 
simple. 

So by the verdict of 
those who turn t h e 
strongest light u p o n 
him. it may seem to the 
historian yet unborn 
that ({rover Cleveland, 
a It hough elected by 
Democrats, was the 
prince of Autocrats. 

Yet, if the abundant 
sources of historical coin- 
position survive— if the 
New York Sun, World, 
and Times, the Sleepy- 
Eye Wide Awake, Osh- 
I; o s h Out-with-it, o r 
Walla Walla W a-W a 
are legible to eyes that 
shall look upon this fair 
land of ours a hundred 
years from now, it will 
bo easily possible to 
place Grover Cleveland 
before a later posterity 
as a very honest and 
worthy man— to show 
that this man whose. 
moral courage is a d- 
mired by his worst 

enemies, was not only honest and conscientious, but 
clearsighted, and that his methods were far wiser and 
saner tlfan they now seem to his best friends. Believ- 
ing, rightly or wrongly, that the politician truly rep- 
resents nobody but himself, he has not hesitated to 
ignore him as an individual or a congressional major- 
ity, boldly appealing from the interested judgment 
of the inferior court to the true Caesar of America, the 
common people. 

Virginia, the mother of Presidents, barely missed 
the honor of calling him her offspring; New Jersey 
welcomed him to the light; New York adopted him; 
Connecticut was the fond parent of his worthy father ; 
Massachusetts names more than one of her eminent 
citizens among his ancestors; Benjamin Franklin 
was the friend of his grandfather's grandsire; his 
kinspeople have born an honored name in almost 
every State. As all roads lead to Rome, all places 
seem to have had their web and warp of influence 
upon the life or fate of the President. 




His daily life is as simple as that of the most ordi- 
nary American. He likes beafsteak. He can tell 
good stories. His wit is bright and opportune. He 
works in his shirt sleeves. A good horse and all his 
points, or a fine plentiful cow, quickly draws his 
praise. In the domestic affairs of his station he is 
thoughtful to a minute, degree and his attentions 
to the ladies of his household are those of a man 
whose politeness is of the tissue and not put on and 
off with his coat. 

The White House doors have never been locked 
since Mr. Cleveland entered the old mansion. More 
than would seem endurable, he has been accessible 
to those who desired to see him. To be sure, his 
home is everybody's, for the executive office and the 
President's private residence are under the same 
attic. But he has endeavored to kill go-betweens 
and listen himself to all who had a prayer to present, 

a request to ask-, advice 
to give, or a threat to in- 
timate. His manner in 
the presence of visi- 
tors encourages by its 
simplicity and evidence 
of good sense. Business 
interviews are held in 
the Library, an ellipti- 
cal room on the second 
lloor of the Executive 
.Mansion. Each caller 
lilkes a seat in turn 
about the room. The 
I 'resident standing 
greets the first who sits 
near him and then pass- 
es informally on around 
the oval, talking freely, 
joking, laughing, mak- 
ing everyone at home 
and free to make him- 
self understood. 

The routine of the 
President's average day 
in Washington would be 
dull enough to any one 
of his sixty millions of 
constituents. He break- 
fast s early— prematurely 
for the average denizen 
of Washington, at the 
unholy hour' of 7 . A short 
walk, the morning pa- 
per, the drive into town, 
and the day's work at 
9 o'clock has begun at the old oak desk in the Library. 
How does the President work ? By intellectual avoir- 
dupois. His method is exactly that of his first an- 
cestor in this country who was a carpenter and made 
a livelihood by pounding. Mr. Cleveland takes up 
one detail after another, arranges facts, applies princi- 
ples, and accomplishes results. He reads much, if 
not all, of his correspondence, he plods through the 
long billsthat Congress passes; in short, his friends 
say he takes too much in his own bauds and would be a 
better President if he left more of his work to others. 
In person the President is a man of congested stat- 
ure, weighing about two hundred pounds. His figure 
suggests the New England stock that bred large fam- 
ilies, fought hard with the obdurate soil for their daily 
porridge, and now and then sent a boy to college to 
show that the line had brains as well as backs and 
thighs. The President's face is not exactly 
Emerson describes as " sweet as porcelain." If is bil- 
lowy with flesh and rough-skinned. The eye is a 
kindly gray. Recent photographs show the softening 
effect of the cares of state.

The "Premier." 

••i i.t me tend thai side door," said a Democratic 
•^ politician recentlj as be came out of Col. La- 

i it's room at the White House. " and [care not who 

makes laws, platforms or Presidents." This has been 
the Feeling oi more than one man as he slid gent ly out 
of the White Bouse looking backward. It is Lamont 

who watches "that side d ." and the door leads 

through the Cabinet room to the President's desk. 

Sitting negligently in (ho ante-n nearly all day, 

a target for all sorts of requests, the Colonel is a man 

to study.

No small part <d his education

,'u he was introduced to the confidence of Sam- 
uel .1. Tildes and mad'' Secretary ol the State Dem- 
Executive Committee in 1876 when Mr. 
Tilden was silently maturing his aspirations for the 
Presidency. 

To tJrover Cleveland his private Secretary has been 

a super 1. Mascot. His own good luck might have 

<l all possible political heights; but with I .a- 

inont he lias fairly wallowed in the Empyrean. Din

Colonel Lamont is a light weight physically— short 
but well Unit and muscular. He dresses plainly in 

simple suits and is fond of little bob-tail jackets. Ills 

eye is the best thing about his face— a gray, steady, 
judicious optic, that always takes and never gives. 
His mouth is firm but bid by a precipitous auburn 

mustache. The shape »t bis head gives and e ha- 

sizes the idea that its owner is a sharp, squirrel-like 
fellow, verj sprj in his mental processes, and mortally 
incisive in the handling of each particular business 
nut. Few politicians love him; jnan\ tear him.

FIFTIETH CONGRESS.

William C. Endicott is a native of Salem, Mass., 
where he still resides, and is now about 59 years old. 
Ho graduated from Harvard college in 1847, and en- 
tered upon the practice of law in 1850. Gov. Wash- 
burn appointed him to a 
place on the Supreme bench 
of Massachusetts, which po- 
sition he resigned in 1882 
on account of ill health. 
Until 1860 Judge Endicott 
was an old-line Whig, but 
from that time forward was 
a Democrat. He never was 
prominent in politics until 
the last Presidential cam- 

Baign, when he was the 
•emocratic candidate for 
governor of the Bay State. 
As a lawyer he is said to 
be thorough, pains-taking, ^^u/ZWrW'"'Wm > " s - 
and dignified. He stood Wn >. 0. endicott. 
high in the ranks of the judiciary while a member of 
the Supreme bench. He is a descendant of John En- 
dicott, one of the first colonial governors of Massa- 
chusetts. His mother was a daughter of the Hon. 
Jacob Crowinshield, who served a term in Congress, 
and was President Jefferson's secretary of the navv 
from 1805 to 1809. 

William Collins Whitney is a son of the Old Bay 
.State, born in 184 0. At Yale he became a boon friend 
of Oliver Payne, of Ohio, which led to Mr. Whitney's 
marriage with the only daughter of Senator Payne 
then and still one of the richest 
men in the Buckeye State, while 
father and son together are prob- 
ably the richest two general inns 
between the Alleghenies and the 
Rockies. On his merits Secre- 
tary Whitney made a place for 
himself as a lawyer in New York. 
He took to politics as a duck to 
water. At the downfall of 
Tweed he was appointed Cor- 
poration Counsel for New York 
and made a reputation for him- 
self. He was a trusted lieuten- 
ant of S. J. Tilden and it was his 
mind that conceived the organ- 
Wm. c. wniTNEY. ization of the County Democ- 
racy. His efforts were half the battle for Mr. Cleve- 
land's nomination in 1884, and when the cabinet of 
the new administration came to he made up nothing 
was more natural than to invite Mr. Whitney into it. 
His administration has been beset with great difficul- 
ties but it has accomplished a firm and safe begin- 
ning of a new navy. The Whitneys have borne the 
social onus of this administration and with their 
princely hospitality won deserved popularity. 

Don Dickinson is Mr. Cleveland's youngest cabinet 
adviser. He is a man noted for his discernment, dis- 
cretion and energy. He was born at Auburn, N. 
-^ags^. Y., in 1842 and is ac- 

cordingly two years young- 
er than Secretary Whitney. 
His father, Asa Dickinson, 
was a distant relative of 
Daniel S. Dickinson, but 
belonged to the Massachu- 
setts Dickinsons. He went 
to Michigan when Don was 
a small boy and became one 
of the wheelhorses of the 
Democratic party there. 
The new Postmaster-Gen- 
eral was educated at the 
State University at Ann 
Arbor, graduating in 1866. 
Three years later he re- 
ceived his diploma from 
the law school and began 
to practice. At first he had a desk in his older 
brother's office. When the latter, already a rich man, 
went to New York to accept a retainer of $10,000 a 






D. M. DICKINSON. 



year from one of the largest dry goods firms there, he 
gave his business to Don. 

The firm is now Dickinson, Hosmer & Thurber, and 
the senior partner is said to have an income, all told, of 
fiver ¥4 0,000 a year. A large part of this comes from 
his collection bureau, which he runs independently of 
the firm. He hires two or three good lawyers aiid a 
big corps of clerks and pushes the business with an en- 
ergetic hand. He is famous for promptitude and 
never stops when he gets after a debtor until he col- 
lects his judgment and hands over the cash to his 
client. 

From Richard de Vilas, a Crusader, are descended 
the few members of the family in this country of 
whose number the distinguished Secretary of the In- 
terior is an honored and able representative. William 
Freeman Vilas *was born in f 
Vermont where his father, 
Judgo Vilas, was a member of 1 
the legislature and a promin- 
ent citizen before his removal lUsk *_•* 
to Wisconsin, his home diu- 
ing the years of his greatest I jL, * 
activity and influence. Secre- fesi ' J, V JtS-i ' 
tary Vilas graduated from the 
University of Wisconsin in its 
callow days, a member of the 
class of '58. In 1860 he re- 
turned from Albany Law 
School to practice in Madison, 
Wis., his home. He went to 
the war and rose to the rank of Wm. f. vilas. 
Lieutenant Colonel. His law practice has been very 
large and his splendid administrative ability has 
gathered a considerable fortune into his possession, 
ne was president of the Chicago convention in 1884 
and made the notification address to Gov. Cleveland 
soon after. He entered the Cleveland cabinet as 
Postmaster-General and when Mr. Lamar was named 
for the Supreme bench Col. Vilas was simultaneously 
nominated for Secretary of the Interior. Secretary 
Vilas is one of the great orators of the West. His 
speech at the Grant banquet in 1880 made him fam- 
ous. 

Augustus H. Garland was born in Tipton county, 
Tennessee, June 11, 1832. The following year his 
parents moved to Arkansas. He was educated at St. 
Mary's college in Kentucky. He begkn the practice 

of law at Washington, 
Ark., in 1853, but in 
1856 moved to Little 
Rock, the capital of the 
Spate. He was a delegate 
to the State convention of 
1861 which passed the or- 
dinance of secession, and 
in May of that year took a 
seat in the provisional 
congress that met at 
Montgomery, Ala. He was 
.^SWpV^^R^ afterward a member of 
I \^!?^*~^\\%*J D °th houses of the Confed- 
erate congress. He was 
elected to the 1 United 
a. H. garland. States Senate for a term 

beginning March 4, 1867, hut as his state had not 
yet been fully re-admitted into the Union he was not 
allowed to take his seat. He was elected governor of 
Arkansas in 1874, and again chosen United States 
senator in 1876, succeeding Powell Clayton, whoso 
term expired the following March, and was re-elected 
in 188 3. He is said to be a natural lawyer, though 
Siot a brilliant one, and to possess a vigorous, evenly 
balanced, conservative mind. He is of the rugged 
Southwestern type, and his selection for a cabinet 
place was most acceptable to the Southern wing of his 
party. His manner of speaking is direct to the subject 
in hand. Ho is a good story-teller and fond of a joke. 
He is smooth-faced like Senator Bayard, broad-shoul- 
dered and deep-chested, and was one of the best speak 
ers in the Senate. He cares little for politics, his only 
ambition being success in his profession.

Democratic when they are once admitted into the 
Union. 

Ohio and California have each a Senator on both 
sides of the Senate chamber. Both States are in (lie 
Republican column and their having Democratic Sen- 
ators is one of the incidents in the ebb and flow of 
political feeling and action in those States. To a 
foreigner the circumstance is inexplicable. 

New Jersey and Indiana present a peculiar incon- 
gruity to anyone not acquainted with the course of 
politics in those States. Their delegations in the 
House have Republican majorities but their Senators 
are Democratic. The fact that a Senatorial term ex- 



tends over six years while Congressmen are chosen 
every other year is something calculated to produce 
results decidedly puzzling not only to observers across 
the Atlantic but to political readers and students h»re 
at home. 

A map showing the last vote for president would 
differ from this to some extent.. In the first place 
there would be no vote in the Territories. There 
would still be "a Solid South, to which would be added 
Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, and Indiana. 
The rest of the country would remain a solid Repub- 
lican white.

THE FIFTIETH CONGRESS. 1887-'89. 



T N THE FOLLOWING pages may be found the 
most important particulars of information about 
the Fiftieth Congress,— the counties and cities com- 
prising each congressional district, the election retains 
of the last congressional (1887) campaign, with bi- 
ographies of Senators and Members (not written by 
themselves) and portraits made from the best avail- 
able photographs. The various State delegations, 
Senators and Members appearing together, are ar- 
ranged alphabetically. At the close of each biographi- 
cal sketch are placed in a single line the address of 
each Senator and Member in his State and also in 



Washington. Following these addresses also appear 
the various committee assignments of Senators and 
Members. In the election returns at the beginning of 
each biographical sketch the politics of different can- 
didates are given as indicated by the letter D. for 
Democrats, R. for Republicans, L. for Labor Party 
candidates, Pro. for Prohibitionists, and Fus. for Fus- 
ionists. It is needless, but a pleasure, to add that 
the statistical information contained in these pages is 
taken by permission from the Official Directory of 
Congress, never better compiled and arranged than 
now, under the editorship of Major Michael.

was a presidential elector In I860 on the

in Ihe Montgomery Convention when Ala- 
bama was taken out of the Union. The 
who of the first gun at Sumter had hardly 
died away before he enlisted as a private

CALIFORNIA. 

THE SENATORS. 





LELAND STANFORD, 
railroads than any man who ever lived. 
He owns the largest vineyard In the 
world. His Palo Alto stock farm is Hie 
most valuable on the globe. Ho rides 
about Washington in an $8000 carriage bo- 
hind a $3000 pair of bays and his wife's 
jowols are worth a round million. Four 
sets of her diamonds once gleamed on 
the fat bosom of Queen Isabella of Spain, 
and they represent $600,000 purchase 
money. Yet Stanford is a plain unos- 
tentatious gentleman, as approachable as 
a country parson and quite as kind- 
hearted and benevolent. Ho has given 
$15,000,000 to found the groat universily 
of the Pacific Coast and is giving his time 
and personal attention to its building. 
In person Senator Stanford Is a large 
brainy man, rather old-fashioned and 
staid in his ways. There is no better in- 
formed man in the Senate on practical 
and large questions of business. He is 
distinctively a generalizer of wido-spread 
facts and conditions, and consequently his 
foresight is a long way ahead of the or- 
dinary movements of trade or politics. 
He was born in Albany County, Now 
York, in 1824. He entered the law of- 
fice of Wheaton, Doolittle & Hadley, at 
Albany, in 1846, and after throo years' 
study was admitted to practico law in 
the Supreme Court of (ho State of New 
lork. Ho, then removed to Port Wash 
ington, in the northern part of the Stale 
of Wisconsin, where ho was engaged in 
the practice of his profession for four 
years. A fire in the spring of 1852 de- 
stroying his law library and othor proper- 
ty, he went to California, where he be- 
came associated in business with his 
brothers, three of whom had preceded 
him to the Pacific Coast. He was at 
first In business at Michigan Bluffs, and 
in 1856 removed to San Francisco to en- 
gage in mercantile pursuits on a laree 
scale. 

Senator Stanfoi-d was a Delegate to the 
National Republican Convention at Chica- 
go in i860; and was elooled Governor of 
i alifornia, and served from December, 
1861, to December, 1863. As President 
of the Central Pacific Railroad Company 
he superintended its construction over 
rho mountains, building 530 miles of it 
in 293 days. He is interested in other 
railroads on tho Pacific Slope, in agricul- 
ture, and In manufactures, flis term of 
service will expire March 3, 1891.

COLORADO. 

THE SENATORS. 

Tom Bowen 
has taken Jim 
Fair's place as 
tho standing 
absentee of th^ 
Senate. Htt 
facQ may no8 
therefore b e 
easily recog- 
nized i n tho 
accompanying 
sketch. Sena 
tor nowen it 
a man of verj 
decided abili- 
ty, lie hai 
been in offi 
ovor since hd 
was 21 yeaii 
Of ago, anif TIIOS. M. BOWEN. 
during that time has lived in half a doz- 
en states. Ho was elected to the Iowa 
Legislature before ho was 21. and only 
secured his place by misrepresenting his 
age. He raised a regiment in Iowa at 
the outbreak of tho War, but was after- 
wards transferred to a Nebraska regi- 
ment, which he commanded during the 
War. In the Senate he has cut a very 
small figure. Ho appears to have lost 
his powers of application. His friends 
still consider him a very bright man, but 
confess that they cannot bring him to 
concentrate those brilliant faculties long 
enough upon one object to accomplish 
anything. He was President of the Ar- 
kansas Constitutional Convention, which 
convened under the reconstruction acts 
of Congress, and was a Justice of tho Su- 
preme Court of that State for four years, 
when he accepted the position of Gover- 
nor of Idaho Territory, tendered to him 
by l'residont Grant In (1871, but resigned 
and returned to Arkansas, where he was 
defeated for the Senate by Steve Dorsey 
In an open contest in the Legislature, the 
party caucus having failed to agree. In 
January, 1875. he remjved to Colorado, 
then a Territory, resumed the practice 
of law, and at the organization of the 
State government was made Judge of the 
Fourth Judicial District, for four years, 
after which he engaged In several large 
mining enterprises and remained in pri- 
vato life until the fall of 1882, when he 
was elected a Representative in the State 
Legislature: served in that body as chair- 
man of the Committee on Ways and 
Means until he resigned, having been 
elected to the United States Senate as a 
Republican, to succeed Horace A. W. 
Tabor (who had been elected to fill the 
unexpired term of H. M. Teller). His 
term expires March 3, 1889. He is 53 
years old.

Capital city of Denver, and is a law- 
yer who long ago made his fame. Since 




his election to the Senate, other men 
have come to the front as the great law- 
yers of his State, and among them Mr. 
Teller's brother Witlai-d. who Is counted 
one of the ablest men in tho State. 
Henry Teller studied law in his native 
Empire State and was admitted to the 
bar' there. He went to Illinois in 1858 
and three years later to Colorado, then 
an almost unknown land. Until elected 
to tho senate as Colorado's first Senator, 
he had never held office. As Secretary 
of the Interior in President Arthur's cab- 
inet, Mr. Teller demonstrated his pecu- 
liar fitness for high executive trusts. 
His present term is the one Prof. Hill, 
his predecessor, expected to enjoy. Hill's 
disappointment still disturbs his indi- 
gestion and being a very rich man he 
runs a newspaper to do his whining for 
him. Teller Is somewhat interested in 
mines and cattle but out in Colorado 
they call him poor. His term lasts until 
March 3, 1891. when ho will be nearly 
61 years old. He is a Republican.

Tho one lone 
Congressman irom 
Colorado has tho 
loveliest hair a 
white horse .ever 
saw. His name is 
spelt one way and 
pronounced another. 
To make a mistake 
in its pronunciation 
I n Judge Symes' 
(pronounced Sims) 
hearing is to forfeit 
at once and forever 
all claim to his rec- 
ognition. The Judge 
is a prime good fel- 
low, sound in every 
Republican doctrine 
and ready at a mo- 
ment's notice to battle valiantly for his 
own' or anybody else*s convictions. He 
lives In Denver, has large and valuable 
property interests there and attends to 
a largo law practice at Intervals from his 
duties In Washington. His life has been 
a genuine Iliad. Born In Ashtabula 
County, Ohio, in April, 1810, he received 
a common school education; studied law. 
enlisted as private in a Wisconsin regi- 
ment : was wounded in the first battle of 
Bull Run; was in the Sioux Indian cam- 
paign of 1S62 ; was in the Vicksburg 
campaign of 1803 and the Atlanta cam- 
paign of 1864. and was wounded In the 
battle of Atlanta July 22, 1864; was 
commissioned Colonel of the Forty- fourth 
Regimont of Wisconsin Vounteers in Au- 
gust. 1864 ; commanded the post at Pa- 
ducah, Kentucky, during the; summer of 
1865, and was mustered out with his 
regiment at Madison. Wisconsin, about 
September 1, 1865: practiced law at Pa- 
ducah, Kentucky, from January 1, 1866, 
until appointed Associate Justice of the 
Supreme Court of Montana Territory in 
April. 1869. He resigned this Judgeship 
in 187(1, and resumed the practice of law 
:it Helena, Montana, until 1874. when he 
removed to Denver. He was elected to 
(he Forty-ninth Congress and was re- 
elected to the Fiftieth, notwithstanding 
his opponent was Rev. Myron Heed, a 
fleshy sort of clergyman, who combined 
good people and bad In his following. 
The inference from the result seems to 
be that in Colorado a majority of tho 
people are neither good nor bad but only 
so-so.

income as the years passed. He In- 
vested his salary wisely and made money 
rapidly. A copper mine was found on 
a cheap little piece of land he had 
bought, and It made him rich. He has 
always been a shrewd buyer of lands. 
He owns tho half of Colorado City. Tex- 
as, a town of 7.000 inhabitants, and he 
did own the whole of it. Ho has stocks 
and mines in different parts of Georgia, 
aud he has made a great deal out of coal 
mines. To mention his business enter- 
prises would be to give a list of nearly 

all the pavMi.. ..in- in Georgia and 

Southeast Tennessee. He is head * if 
the Western and Atlanta railroad — the 
line from Chattanooga to Atlanta: tin- 
owner of a lino which transport- his own 
coal; the powerful stockholder of tho 
Dade Coal Company; the president of 
the Rising Fawn Furnace Company, with 
its great tracts of ore; president of the 
Chattanooga Iron Company and. in short. 
in so many other enterprises that his 
name crops op in every mention of iron. 
coal and railroad Interests in the three 
States. 

Old Joe has a large influence among 
the Baptists of the South and owns more 
coal mines than any man south of Ma- 
son & Dixon's line. He was an original 
Secessionist and had been twice elected 
Governor, when the war broke out 
Twice during the war he was re-elected. 
He opposed Jeff Davis' policy on tho 
conscript an. but throw no obstacles in 
the way of the execution of the law by 
tho Confederate Government. After Ap- 
pomattox, he advocated acquiescence in 
the reconstruction measures and became 
very unpopular on account of his recom- 
mendation that the peoplo cany them 
out in good faith. As the Democratic 
party opposed those measures, he voted 
for General Grant, who favored them. In 
the legislature of 1868 ho was nominated 
by the Republicans for United States 
Senator and defeated by Hon Joshua Hill, 
which was tho only defeat of his life. 
He was appointed by Judge Bullock I In. 1 
Justice of tin Supreme Court of Georgia, 
which position lie held till December. 
1870. when he resigned to accept the 
presidency of the Western Atlantic Rail- 
road. When Gen. Gordon resigned Ins 
seat in the Senate, Old Joe was elected 
to fill it— and he has done so literally- 
more consecutive hours than any Senator 
ever did in the same length of time, Ho 
was re-elected iii 1S84. He lives verj 
simply, keeps no carriage and spends 
his wealth sparingly.

to 1871. He was 
twice sent to the 
State legislature 
before he came to

twice also after-

was elected Gov-

To him we owe the 
present effective law against polygamv

passing a bill through the Senate on the 
subject, his bill having passed the House.

One of the hon- 
ojed Senators 
from Maine was 
a Farwell. Tho 
man who dug 
the Erie canal 
was of tho same 
family. Tho pio- 
n e e r merchant 
b prince of Chica- 
\ go and the Great 
West, was John 
^ V. Farwell. It is 
in the line of 
CHAS. B. FARWELL. the family predi- 
lections that Charles B. Farwell should be 
a most successful business man and a 
United States Senator. He was born 
in Painted Post, N. Y., and is 65 years 
old. He is essentially In all things a 
business man and his education was 
sought strictly with a view to a business 
life. He went to Illinois in 1838, and 
in real estate and banking made his 
large fortune. He has filled many Im- 
portant and responsible offices, and in 
1870 was elected to Congress over Long 
John Wentworth. In 1876 the Houso de- 
cided to seat his opponent, J. V. Le 
Moyne. In 1880 ho was again elected 
to the House, and at the expiration oi 
the term declined a ro-election. When 
Gen. Logan died it seemed to be the 
most natural thing in tho world for Illi- 
nois to send Mr. Farwell to the Senate. 
Senator Farwell, his brother John V. 
and Col Abner Taylor, of Chicago, to- 
gether built the Texas Statehouse, at, 
Austin. The State of Texas gave to the 
Farwell Company 3.000.000 acres of land, 
as compensation for the building. The 
land Is worth $5 an acre and the State 
buildings did not cost more than $1,000,- 
000. The land is all fenced in. Sev- 
enty-five thousand cattle are now on it, 
and more to follow. The Farwell Com- 
pany have their headquarters in London, 
and English capitalists own about one- 
quarter of the stock. It Is said the com- 
pany will make from $15,000,000 to $20,- 
000,000 out of the speculation.

(he Springfield Republican educated him. 
At that flmo the circulation of the pa- 
per was barely 3000 and of tills tho little 
boy Dunham could fold one-third in an 
hour. In Chicago he is a grain and pro- 
vision broker. In early life his ambition 
was to become a life insurance agent, but 
Inexorable fate had marked him for 
statesmanship. In 1882 he was presi- 
dent of the Chicago Board of Trade. 
This is his third whack at life in Con- 
gress, and it is in all human probablity 
his last, for Col. Abner Taylor, an old 
hand in politics, has secured tho Republi- 
can nomination in Dunham's district, 
which is equivalent to election.

Mr. Frank Law- 
ler personifies in 
American public 

life the delicious 
Paddylsn* that 

" one man is as 
good as another 

and a d d sight 

belter." Mr. Law- 
lor Is not a LL.D. 
nor are there frills 
on his shirt bosom. 
He Is a publican 
and some say a 
sinner, but for all 
this he swings a 
jolly [good pace and no man gets what 
he wants sooner or easier out of the 
legislative grab-bag. Mr. Lawler was 
born at Rochester. New York. Jure 25, 
1842. He attended a public school 
until thirteen years of age, when, owing 
to a serious accident, which befell his 
father, he was compelled to leave 
school and seek employment in a Dock- 
yard, where he continued to labor for 
two years. For three years he was 
a news ajent on railroads. He then 
learned tho trade of ship-builder, was 
elected president of the Ship-carpenter 
and Ship-caulkers' Association, and 
took an active part in organizing ti i,:e 
and labor unions. Ho became agent 
for the Worklngman's Advocate, a 
newspaper published In the interest of 
the toiling masses, and was appointed, 
upon the request of the trade and labor 
organizations to a position in the Chicago 
post-office, which he held from 1869 
to 1877. In 1876 he was elected a 
member of the Chicago Cltv Council, 
and was re-elected in 1878. 1880, 
1882 and 1884. He was eloctcd to 
the Forty-ninth Congress and was re- 
elected to the Fiftieth Congress. 

Mr. Lawler strews his dally path- 
way with geuulne Irish wit' which 
does much to win success. Few mem- 
bers know so thoroughly the Interests 
of their districts as he does those of 
his.

PHILIP S. Post, ty-five summers 
have rolled over his head, over thirty 
of them being of that torrid kind felt 
on the prairies of Illinois. Ho is a 
graduate of Union College and Pough- 
kecpsio Law School. He had been prac- 
ticing law five years and was mak- 
ing slow and solid headway in his pro- 
fession, when the war broke out. Ho 
enlisted in the first part of the strug- 
gle, and when the scene at Appomat- 
tox took place, he was a brigadier, com- 
manding the Department of Western 
Texas, having received all the hard 
fighting possible, a number of severe 
wounds and a dozen successive pro- 
motions, as the war went on. For many 
years after the war, Gen. Post repre- 
sented his country in the diplomatic 
service — as consul to Vienna from 1866 
until 1874, when he was promoted to 
Consul-General for Austria-Hungary, 
and in that position he remained until 
1879, when he resigned.

little child of two. In school and college, 
he was first in his classes and the same 
spirit of emulation has marked his course 
in professional life. He was twice 

elected Cltv Attorney of Quincy.

The Nestor of 
the Democratic 
representation In 
the Illinois dele- 
gation, is no less 
important a per- 
sonage than Wil- 
liam M. Springer, 
who has through 
six Congresses pur- 
sued his ambidex- 
trous method of 
getting along In 
the world, and Is 
now having a 
W. M. SPRINGER, great deal of fun 
In his seventh. Grey hairs are plenti- 
ful now in " Bill's" head, but anyone 
who thinks that the brains beneath 
them are less numerous and virile than 
of old. needs only to come face to face 
in a square issue with the lively 1111- 
noisan. Nobody has ever called him the 
" noblest Roman of them all," yet 
the Honorable " Bill" Is respected and 
admired by all who can appreciate nim- 
ble wits, smooth finesse and an uner- 
ring sense of which way the cat may 
jump. Mr. Springer was born in Sulli- 
van County, Indiana, is 52 years old, re- 
ceived a classical education at the In- 
diana State Universitv, has been a shrewd 
lawyer for nearly thirty years and lives 
in the home of Abraham Lincoln, the 
Capital City of Springfield. Mrs. Spring- 
er is an accomplished lady, who has 
written several novels. IVlr. Springer 

has amassed quite a fortune, has a pret- 
ty mansion facing on the Capitol 
Grounds, and the town of Springer, New 
Mexico. \v;is named after him. He trav- 
els a good deal and goes where he pleases 
except to Dakota. As brains first, and 
chairman afterwards, of tho House Com- 
mittee on Territories. Mr. Springer has 
produced a very unanimous opinion of 
himself in the minds of the people of 
Dakota. A prominent Dakotlan re- 

marked not long ago, " Our opinion of 
him can only be expressed by means 
of a rope and a telegraph pole." 

Mr. Springer has never been seen In 
public or private denuded of his freshly- 
plucked boutonnlere. It Is the common 





belief (hat he pins It on his night- 
gown Just before retiring.

When any

Hon. Joseph G. 
Cannon, of the

t r 1 c t— " Hon- 
ost Old Joe" as 
everybody calls 
h i m. Circum- 
stances over 
which Jie had 
no control, and 
J. G. CANNON. for which h e 
makes no apology, selected Guilford, 
North Carolina, as his birthplace, but a 
more unmitigated Northern Republican 
never steered a caucus or made a speech. 
This is his fifteenth year in Congress, 
and the calendar has not, yot been fore- 
cast which oontalns tho date of his re- 
tirement. In appearance Mr. Cannon car- 
Icatures somewhat the accepted Idea of a 
country justice of the peace. He enjoys 
everything in life that comes along, from 
a fraternal swap of " fine-cut", to a ter- 
rific party row in the House. Mr. Can- 
non has boen known to dance not un- 
gracefully all night at a Grand Army 
Ball or a Knights of Labor Sociable and 
the next day in the House edify both 
sides of tho Chamber with arguments 
most eloquently expressed and convinc- 
ingly constructed. Ho Is one of the peo- 
ple's kind of men of that ploneor class 
rapidly disappearing, which Abraham Lin- 
coln so well represented. It Is not easy 
to believe that Joe Cannon Is 52 years 
old.

positive made up of 
an Infinite number 
of negatives. "His

Is to object," said a 
Down East member,

public building was 
razed to the ground 
in the jiffy thai it 
takes Ml'. Ilolman 
to shift his tobacco 
from the left cheek 
to the right. He is one of half a dozen 
men who have earned a national title in

Iron to the end of the chapter, and we 
shall hardly cease to hear of Mr. Randall's 
Iron Jaw : but the Great American Ob- 
jector will outlive both. The Sun's can- 
didate for the Presidency in 1883 is sixty- 
six years old. His father was a bosom 
friend of Honrv Clay, and the Great Com- 
moner helped Hu senior Ilolman to pub- 
lish his first, and only novel. This work 
of fiction bore the romantic title "Errors 
of Education." Tin- Objector's grandfa- 
ther was one of the pioneers of Kentucky. 
On one occasion, while exercising the fam- 
ily propensity, lie objected to an Indian

There are four 
members of the Fif

have been chief 
magistrates of their 
states. Gov. Gear 
is one of them. 
He is a typical 
Westerner. Ho was 
born on the shores 
of Lake Cavuga, 
g\New York, " and 
wandered all over 
the West before he 
took root in the 
great state whose 
First district he represents in Congress. In 
1836 he was a smart boy at Galena, Illi- 
nois, then the chief entrepot of the Missis- 
sippi Valley. In 1838 he went to Fort 
Snelling, whei-e St. Paul and Minneapolis 
now form tho Metropolis of the New North- 
west. Gov. Gear could have bought the 
site of either of those cities then for $150. 
But he did not, and In 1843 went down the 
river to Burlington, his present home. In 
1878 he was elected Governor of the 
largest prohibition state in the country. 
His election to the Fiftieth Congress was 
the defeat of Benton J. Hall, who received 
the commlsslonership of patents on retir- 
ing from the Forty-ninth Congress.

There is no 
member of the 
House who has 
come to the brass 
fence around the 
speaker's chair in 
better shape of 
lafo than Weaver. 
When he entered 
Congress he had 
his name full of 
all sorts of cockle- 
burs and every- 
body put him 
down as a kicker 
from Kicksburg. J- B. WEAVER. 

He had the manners and language of a 
demagogue and was the apostle of Creen- 
baeklsm. In 1880 while he was a member 
of the Forty-sixth Congress, the National 
party In convention at Chicago nominated 
him for President. He got over 3 per cent, 
of the aggregate vote— over 10 per 
cent, in Iowa, and 9 per cent, in Kansas. 
As a campaigner Gen. Weaver is a de- 
cided success. He knows what to do to 
get on a level with his audience and swing 
himself and them into enthusiasm over his 
crochets. The trouble has been that he 
campaigned with crochets only. As an out 
and out Democrat he would be head and 
shoulders above any Western Democrat. 
Dayton, Ohio, 55 years ago, was his birth- 
place. He is a Northern brigadier, Is a 
lawyer, has dabbled In journalism wilh the 
Des Moines Tribune and was an office- 
holder six years in consequence of his ap- 
pointment as internal revenue collector 
by Andy Johnson.

Iowa Is a big Phil- 
adelphia— a State 
lacking In noise and 
bluster, but ter- 
ribly solid, steady- 
going and ponderous 
in the conquest of 
results. She has no 
metropolis. There is 
nothing within her 
borders particularly 
interesting— no moun- 
tains, no great riv- 
ers, no great monu- 
ment of human skill 
or labor. Iowa might 
drop out of the continent and our civiliza- 
tion would never feel an lota of loss. But 
there aro usually 6.000,000 hogs In Iowa— 
moro (han any Slato has. She raises 
250.000.000 bushels of corn— the second 
biggest yield In this country. There are

Speaker Carlisle 
entered Congress in 
1877, and in the 
quick flight of ten 
years has conic to be 
one of tho most fa- 
mous party leaders oi 
the times. Thrice 

elected Speaker, the 
last time without the 
slightest opposition 
he is praised by men 
of all parties for his 
fairness, his good 
sense, his readiness. 
He is eloquent in de- 
bate, convincing ami J. G. CARLISLE, 
liboral. Even as a loader of the tariff- 
reform party, he is not willing to be 
misunderstood as an extremist. 

In a speech in the House, when the 
vital question of free trade was in its 
earliest stages of discussion, Mr. Carlisle, 
said : " In tho broad and sweeping sense 
which tho use of the term implies. I am 
not a frco trader. Of course that is 
understood. At least, it should be. Iu 
my judgmei:t it will be years yet before 
anything in the nature of free trado will 
be wise or practical in the United States. 
When we speak of this subject we refer 
to approximate free trade, which has no 
idea of crippling the growth of home Indus, 
tries, but simply of scaling down the lni- 
quilies of the tariff schedule. After wo 
have calmly stood by and allowed 
monopolies to grow fat, we should not 
be asked to make them bloated." 

Like all his colleagues in the House and 
Senate with the exception of Senator 
Beck and Colonel Breckinridge. Mi'. Car- 
lisle was born in Kentucky. He is now 
fifty-two years old. He was loyal during 
the war, and opposed to secession. Ho 
held numerous State oflices, and was Lieu- 
tenant Governor of Kenlncky don. 1871 
till 1875. Mr. Carlisle's mother was a 
native of Rhode Island, a member of the 
Reynolds family. His middle name came 
from his grandfather, Griltin Reynolds, 
lie was named John after his father's 
father. John Carlisle, who was a native 61

thirteen years. He was educated in Ken-

Equity Jurisprudence of Cumberland Col- 
lege. He was elected to Congress in 
1886 without objection. Colonel Breck-

one of tho most brilliant orators on the 
Democratic side. His father presided

studied for the ministry three' years and 
for the law four. In 1881, when he was 
thirty years old, he was admitted to the 
bar. He was elected to Congress in 
1884, and soon made himself felt and 
heard in the debates. He has a voice 
that conquers space with tremendous 
power, and on all filibustering occasions 
it is Taulbee who is sent to r.be front by 
his party managers. His style of do- 
bate is marked by more persistence than 
discretion and he seldom comes out of 
a scrimmage with the eagles of victory 
screaming on his side of the question. 
Undoubtedly, Mr. Taulber male a mistake 
in abuuduning the ministry.

No pieinre can do

llis physiognomy Is 
as baffling and exas- 
perating as Shakes- 
peare's, and the two 
a r e said to 1 o k 
enough alike t o b e 
brothers but for the 
incongruity of I i m e 
and a few other cir- 
cumstances. Reed is 
a giant of a m a u. 
with a b I g. round 
head, covered with a T. B. REED, 
thin, fine growth of sofi brown hair, a 
short neck and a fat lac.-. He is one uf 
i In' brainiest men uf the House, and one 
nf its readies! speaker-. He uses no 

mite-, and he stands straight up. looking 
Hie other side in the eye, and growing 
red as hi- Irony goes rapierlike through 
and through Ins opponents. Often with 
line hand in his pocket and sometimes 
both, he uses every part uf his anatomy 
while speaking. Ho shakes his head a 
great dial, throws his linger at Sam Ran- 
dall, ami utters his sentiments in the 
twang uf a Maine Yankee. He is Hie 
leader uf the Republicans, and llis tongue 
Is as sharp as a two-edged sword. He 

has never I n beaten in an oratorical 

contest yet. and he Impresses you with 




Hie Idea uf an immense amount of reserve 
force. His voice is alone of its kind. 
There blends in il the drawl and twang 
i i Maine, the Idiom nf Boston, Hie dialect, 
i.l ad Yanhi edinii. Il i- su thoroughly 
representative of the Yankee thai ii has 
been -aid thai Dr. Holmes had Tom Keel 
In mind when In- described Silas] Peek 
h.ini's voice. -Thai peculiar, acid, pene- 
trating tune, thickened with a nasal 
twang, whiei t rarely becomes heredi- 
tary after three or four generations raised 
upon easi wind-, salt lish. and large 
white-bellied pickled cucumbers." 

Mr. Reed was born in Portland, gradu-

THE SENATORS. 

The success- 
or of Charles 
Sumner in the 
Senate, is a 
plain old-fash- 
1 n e d public 
servant, who 
has plodded hon- 
orably and use- 
fully through 
forty long yeai 
of service in of- 
fice. Hon. Henry 
Dawes was born 
as long ago as 
1816, in Cum- 
mington, Mass. 
After leaving 
class of 1839. 

Vale with the HENRY L. DAWES, 
he taught school, then became a country 
editor with the Greenfield Gazette and 
the Adams Transcript, two venerable pro- 
vincial sheets. In 1842 Mr. Dawes was 
admitted to the bar and to this day he has 
a cipiisldi-rabli- country praclicr on which 
he depends. His first representative office 
was member of the Massachusetts legis- 
lature from 1848 to 1850. He was at- 
torney for Western Massachusetts until 
1S57 when he was elected to Congress 
where he remained until 1873. As chair- 
man on the committee on Ways and 
Moans, Mr. Dawes shaped many tariff 
treasures, ffe was noted for economy, 
plain businss sense, and absolute integrity. 
In 1875 he entered the Senate and in 
1881 and 1887 he was re-elected. As 
chairman of the Senate committee on In- 
dian Affairs Mr. Dawes has accomplished 
great good for the red man. To him is 
largely due tho passage of the Severally 
bill. It was by his efforts also that work 
was resumed on the Washington Monu- 
ment, and while in tho House in 1869, Mr. 
Dawes set in operation the present effici- 
ent system of weather intelligence. His 
daughter. Miss Anna assists her father 
in his public work, and has earned a 
place for herself as a journalist and 
author.

Midway In the 
second tier o i 
seats on the 
Republican side 
of the Senate 
Chamber sits 
usually a fine 
looking old man 
with a haze of 
snow-white silky 
hair about h 1 s 
full largo head, 
w I t h which a 
delicately pink 
forehead and 
smooth face af- 
ford a pleasing 
harmony. Brll- 
1 i a n t glasses 
shine on his 
G-EORGE F. nOAR. nose In his 
hand ho constantly twirls and jingles a 
bunch of keys. This nice looking old 
party Is George Frlsble Hoar, who may, 




If he chooses, write four LL.D's after 
his name, William and Mary, Amherst, 
Yale and Harvard having each conferred 
this degree upon him. Judge Hoar was 
born in Concord, Mass., the birthplace of 
his father, who was a noted anti-slavery 
man, a very successful lawyer and a mem- 
ber of Congress. Judge Hoar graduated 
from Harvard In 1846 and later from 
Harvard Law School. Beginning prac- 
tice in Worcester In 1852, he was elected 
to the legislature. In I860 he came to 
Congress. In 1877 he declined a fifth 
re-nomination and was elected to the 
Senate to succeed Mr. Boutwell. Whllo 
In the House he was a manager in the 
Belknap trial and also sat with the Elec- 
toral Commission In the Inquest on Mr. 
Hayes' title to the Presidency. Nothing 
shoots Mr. Hoar onto his feet quicker 
than any tiing at the result of that fa 
mons trial. Ho regards Rutherford B. 
Hayes' election to the Presidency more 
absolute and formal than that of George 
Washington or Gen. Grant. Mr. Hoaf 
was president of the Garfield Convention 
In 1880. has boon an overseer of Harvard, 
regent of the Smithsonian, and is now

When the Fiftieth 
Congress was in its 
infancy last Decem- 
ber, something of a 
sensation "was caused 
one night by the an- 
nouncement that 
President Cleveland 
had taUen a walk 
down past Newspa- 
per Row with a 
' strange lady on his 
arm. Gossip car- 
rled the story on 
lightning heels and 
i t caused a big 
sputter. In a few hours, however, some- 
body discovered that the pedestrian was 
Gen. William Cogswell, of Massachusetts, 
who was in town ready to take his seat 
as member for the Seventh district of the 
Bay State. He looks wonderfully like 
Mr. Cleveland in a dim light and the mis- 
take was a natural one but for the 
Improbability of the President s being 
seen abroad with anv lady but his charm- 
ing, liappv bride. He is just fifty, but 
looks and feels as young as Henry Cabot 
Lodge, his not less handsome colleague. 
Dartmouth might have claimed him as a 
son if lie had nol yielded to his love of 
the sea and shipped before the mast. 
Afterward he graduated from Harvard 
Law School. (ion. Cogswell lives in 
Secretary Endicott's town, but Glouces- 
ter Is I'm' of tin- main places in his dis- 
trict, lie lias made a thorough study of 
the fishery question, both In a historical 
and practical way. and so he is well 
prepared to speak as to the feelings of 
sailors on the Yankee cod and mackerel 
anil herring fleet. Gen. Cogswell is 
short, broad and chubby cheeked, and 
shaves off all his beard except a mous- 
tache. Ho wears a long black Prince 
Albert "all buttoned down before." His 
white tie gives him a clerical look. 
Gen. Cogswell is a good campaigner. Ho 
proved that when he won the triangular 
fight in his district, proving himself the 
hypotienuse, and defeating good-looking 
Col. Jonas 11. French and a parson named 
Spauldiug. who ran, on the labor ticket. 
But he has seen sterner lighting than 
this. He won his Brigadiership in the 
field, on the march to Savannah, old Te- 
cumps giving it to him in the presence of 
Secretary Stanton. He wa.s with Banks 
at Shenandoah, with Pope al Smith Moun- 
tain, became Lieu f enant-Colonel at An- 
t let am, and Colonel at Chanei llorsvllle. 
He has twice been mayor of Salem aim 
served six terms in the State Legislature. 
His lawyer's shingle hangs out In Pem- 
berlon square, opposite Boston's new 
Stale House just rising.

widow In his district, who wrote him 
that she would love to see her soldier 
boy's grave at Arlington, the Lowell

makes of old ard sa

is worse perhaps than 
Mr. Lowell's heteros- 
ophy since his return 
to America. 

Mr. Burnett's name 
E. BURNETT! Is famous. His 
father had it printed on myriads of bot- 
tles of Burnett's Cocaine. In 1871 Con- 
gressman Burnett was graduated from 
Harvard, being Hun twenty-two years 
old. The following year be married 
Mr. Lowell's only child. Mr. Burnett is 

., i lest Miii'-i gentleman, whose voice 

has yet to wake its maiden echo In de- 
bate. His Inline is near Farmlngham on 
Deerfoot Farm, whose name gives endorse- 
ment to a kind of sausage thai has found 
favor with epicures. The young Con- 
gressman is a business-like farmer, who 
advertises and pushes the sale of his 
farm products widely, "Deerfoot Farm" 
butter, cheese, sausage, raspberry jam, 
pickles, eggs, and several other delicious 
edibles fill the shelves of the store in 
Boston, where Mr. Burnett's agent pre 
sides, and Beacon street and Common- 
wealth avenue in that cultured city feel 



that they are hardly having the right 
sort of food unless Deerfoot Farm has 
helped furnish the table, particularly 
with bmter or cream cheese. Mr. Bur- 
nett's pet hobby Is choice caltle. He 
has devoted his attention clcsely to se 
curing a tine herd of blooded Hnlsteins, 
and lias one that cannot be surpassed. 
If it can be equalled, In his o vn state. 
Last summer he spent considerable time 
In Holland looking for new pun hases. 
He Is president of the cattle show asso- 
elation thai lill- Madison Square Garden 
for a week every spring, and is well 
known to lovers a.ini breeders of good 
cows. Mr. Burnett Is tall and of rather

a soldier (which he 
was from 1862 to 
1864) and weighing

born In Erie County 
1837. His education 
common schools, the academy"" and law 
offices. After the war he became prose- 
cuting attorney of Kalamazoo and in a 
few years he was elected to Congress He 
sat In the Forty-third, Forty-sixth and 
Forty-seventh. Then a young fellow 
with the queer name of Yaplo Interrupted 
him. But he came back to the Fortv-

President Arthur offered him the con- 
solation of an assistant Attorney-General- 
ship in 1884, but he declined. ' In 1884 
lie was a delrgate-at-large to the Chicago 
Convention. Burrows Is a capital stumper 
and has traversed the entire country for 
his party. 

Mr. Burrows would be an Interesting 
figure as the leader of a Republican ma- 
jority In the House. As speaker he would 
lapidly assume the proportions of a presi- 
dential quantity and, more than any man 
who has borne a prominent part in public 
life since Mr. Blaine's retirement, fix a 
new magnetic center in American politics. 
His manner is decided and he expresses 
his opinions with unspeakable certainty 
and confidence in their correctness He 
has not the splendid audacity nor the cat- 
footed agility of Mr. Blaine, but his Intel- 
lectuals are seldom badly clogged and he 
knows what the people want. As an ad- 
ministrative officer he would be admired.

House. Since 

Horr, of Mich- 
igan and Bel- 
ford, of Colora- 
d o disappeared 
Allen has beer 
without much 
competition i n 
his kind of fun. 
He talks on the 
floor of the 
House as though 
he were on the 
stump, flourishes 
his arms about 




like a windmill, throws his fist at tho 
.Speaker, and raises his hands to the gal- 
leries. He Is a dark, sallow man of 
about 40, with bushy brown hair oovei 
iug the crown and sides of his head, and 
with a high, saffron forehead. Ho has 
a Roman nose, with exceedingly large 
nostrils, which seem to quiver between 
a sneer and a laugh as ho talks. Ho 
talks well, and always has an audience. 
He began his law practice in 1870 and 
was district attorney of his county four 
years. This is his second term in Con- 
gress. Allen's bright sayings would fill 
a mighty ontertaining book. 

In one of his speeches a member arose 
and requested permission to ask a ques- 
tion. Allen drow himself up to his full 
height and said, " I'm sorry, Mr. Speaker, 
but I cannot allow myself to be Intel 
rupted except by applause." 

A reporter recently attempted to In- 
terview Allen on the subject of tho tariff. 
"Yon must excuse me." said tho wiltv 
Mississlpplan, "before I can make up my 
mind on the tariff I shall have to hoar 
myself speak on the subject." 

One day Allen was engaged in tolling 
a story to a knot of members during a 
roll-call. He did not hear his name un- 
til tho second call, and then turned 
quickly to Congressman Taulbeo and In- 

I bow he had voted. "I voted 

•No,' whispered Tanlbee. 

" No," shouted Allen with great cm- 
phasls. 

■■ Why did you follow Taulbeo on that

'■ Well," replied Allen with a quizzical 
smile, '-Tanlbee looks mighty like my col- 
onel in the late war I followed' Mm 
for four years, and he never once led mo 
whore thore was any danger. I guess 
1 il stick to Tanlbee."

In the litigation growing out of the Corn-

a portion of a claim that soon sold for 
$200,000. Senator Stewart mado a large 
sum of money in London, in company 
with Tiainor W. Park, by the sale of tho 
Little Emma Mine, which, at the time, 
was thought to be a second Golcanda, 
but which, after it had passed into the 
possession of British stockholders, turned 
out to bo a rich " pocket" Instead of a 
reliable vein of precious ore, greatly to 
the annoyance of Gen. Schenk, who, as

vouched for it. Returning, tho Sonafor

Church, Pro., 1.780. 

Mr. Blaine once 
showed his swift wit 
by correcting his er- 
r o r I n recognizing 
Mr. Phelps as "The 
Gentleman from New 
York"— tho II u 9 e 
laughed, but the 
speaker added like a 
Hash : " and New Jer- 
sey." Although Iden- 
tified with New Jer- 
sey, Mr. Phelps Is a 
thorough Now York- 
er. He was born in 
Waverly Place, New 
York Cily, where his 
falher, who had been W. W. PHELPS. 
a country printer and editor, became a 
very successful aud wealihy dry goods 
merchant John J. Phelps, the father, 
whllo editor of the New England Review 
at Hartford, Conn., had George D. Pren- 
tice as his associate and John G. Whittier 
as a compositor. Tho elder Phelps was 
the first president of tho Delaware, Lacka- 
wanna and Western road, and when Mr. 
William Walter Phelps cut loose from ail 
the numerous railroad directories in which 
he had for so many years sat, the last 
one to be resigned was that in the Dela- 
ware, Lackawanna and Western. At six- 
teen Mi 1 , Phelps entered Y'ale, and at 
graduation he was a very close com- 
petitor for first honors, having taken near- 
ly all the most honored prizes. The night 
of his graduation he married the daugh- 
ter of Joseph E. Sheffield, who founded 
tho Sheffield Scientific School. Before he 
was twenty-five he had a large law prac- 
tice, having graduated from the Colum- 
bia Law School, with the highest honors. 
The death of his father in 1809 made it 
necessary for him to relinquish his gen- 
eral practice, and give his lime to the 
management of the estate. Mr. Phelps 
was first elected to Congress in 1872, from 
the same district he now represents, hav- 
ing been persuaded to make his residence 
on Teaneck Ridge — since become famous 
as Mr. Phelps' homestead. He has 15.- 
000 acres, 800 being a fine park, highly 
cultivated and celebrated for its arbori- 
culture. Mr. Phelps soon became one of 
Mr. Blaine's lieutenants, a relation he 
sustains to this day, notwithstanding Ids 
own gentle boom for the Presidency in 
the present year of grace. President Gar- 
field aud Mr. Blaine, when the latter was 
Secretary of State, sent Mr. Phelps to 
Vienna, as minister to Austria-Hungary. 
His term was but a partial one, as he 
preferred to return to Congress. It was 
tho common expectation In 1884 that if 
Mi 1 . Blaine should be elected, Mr. Phelps 
would enter his Cabinet probably as Sec- 
retary of State. Gen. Grant, in 1872, 
offered him the First Assistant Secretary- 
ship of the Treasury, when it was mor- 
ally certain Judge Richardson would be 
retired and Mr. Phelps would be in the 
line of promotion. But he declined to 
forego life in Congress. As a Yale man, 
Mr. Pholps has been enthusiastic and 
loyal to his alma mater. He was the 
first alumni trustee of the college. Two 
of his boys have since taken their diplo- 
mas there— John J. Phelps, of '83. now 
twenty-seven years! old. and Sheffield 
Phelps, of '80. who t /twenty- four years 
old and editor of the Gazette at Colorado

native ol Flushing, 
thirty-seven yoars 
ol age. In accent 
and style he is 
quite English. In- 
deed, ho took a de- 
gree at Oxford. He 
has written a novel 

whose l heme, is the 
divorce question, and would like to be a 
literary man better than anything else, 
but as the coming male representative 
of the Cooper family, ho will probably 
be obliged to be Mayor of New York. In 
1886 Mr. Bryce was appointed Paymas- 
ter-General of New York State and now 
ho is called Geuoral Bryce. He Is a 
spare, pallid young man, who wears his 
whiskers In the partierre style. Mrs.

Campbell, D.. 1-2.179. 
Grady, Ind. D., 11.799. 

The white neckUc 
of Tim Campbell is 
as famous as the 
Illume of Henry of 
Navarre. Mr. Camp- 
bell is a big-hearted 
Irishman, brought up 
in New York City, 
I hough born in Coun- 
ty < 'a.van, in (lie 
"Ould" Country. He 
Is a typo and has 
worked on the New 
York Times, Ex- 
press. Tribune and 
Herald. He was on 
the Herald when he T. J. OAMPBJiL.1.. 
was nominated in 1867 for the State 
Assembly and he was elected to the As- 
sembly in 1868, '69, '70, '71, '72. '73 
and '75. He studied law with Judge 
Flanagan and was admitted to the, liar in 
November, 1869; was elected Justice of 
the Fifth District Civil Court in Now 
York City in 1875 and served six yoars 
In this capacity. In 1883 he was re- 
turned to Iho State Assembly. He was 
nominated for Stato Senator In opposi- 




tion to the Tammany candidate and was 
elected by 5,547 majority. Before his 
term expired a vacancy occurred In the 
Eighth Congressional District of New 
York, by the appointment of Sunset Cox 
as Minister to Turkey and Mr. Campbell 
Mas nomiuatod and elected to the Forty- 
ninth Congress to fill the seat. 

Tim has his full share of Irish wit. 
One day, shortly after the Ingalls-Voor- 
hees affair the House got into a noisy 
snarl. Above the din, the Speaker soon 
heard Tim's voice : 

"Is this tho United States Senate?" 

Another time, whllo showing some 
friends about the Capitol, the party en 
tered Statuary Hall and paused before 
the figure of Robert Fulton, who sits pen- 
sively regarding the miniature model of 
his first steamboat, which rests upon 
his knee. 

" Who is that ?" asked a bright-eyed 
little maiden, who failed to note tho chis- 
elled naino upon the pedestal. 

" Robert Fulton," replied " Our Tim," 
with a graceful flourish of (lie- arm. "he 
is the man that, invented the roller-skate. 
Ju his lap you will observe the first skate 
ever made !"

Cox. D., 13,754. 
Wagoner, R., 8,259. 

A glowing piece of 
sophomoric description 
in tho Columbus, O., 
Statesman, called forth 
by a beautiful sky one 
night In the summer of 
1S53, Is responsible for 
a name known in Con- 
gress now for over 
thirty years. "Sunset." 
Cox (Samuel Sullivan 
h e Bible) Is the 
wit of the House, 
ancis Bacon forbore 
SAMUEL s. COX. t0 rlaim Ml e famous 
plays he wrote because to be known as a 
poet would cost, him his name as a phil- 
osopher. Mr. Cox has never felt any 
fear for his fame as a statesman in grati- 
fying the lovo of fun among his fellow 
citizens. His witticisms come from him 
like limpid water from some crystal moun- 
tain spring. His brain flashes like light- 
ning at, tho slightest play of tho subtle, 
current of humor. He comes fairly by 
his honors. His grandfather was a Rev- 
olutionary brigadier and a member of the 
Tenth Congress. His father was a Stale 
Senator In Ohio. " Sunset" supported 
himself In Brown University by literary 
work and took half a dozen prizes. He 
started to practice law but gave It up. 
After a play spell In Europe he went to 
Columbus, O., and edited the Statesman. 
In 1855 he was offered the place of Sec- 
rotary of Legal ion in London. Ho de- 
clined but soon accepted a similar place 
with our Peruvian Mission. On coming 
home in 1856 he was elected to Congress. 
IIo was delegate to the National Demo- 
cratlo conventions in .1864, 1868 and 
1876. In 1866 he removed to New York 
city and two years later was elected to 
Congress. In 1877 he was one of three 
candidates for the Speakership but was 
beaten. Ho put through the law for the 
present apportionment of Congressmen, 
and he will probably have a good deal 
to do with the next apportionment when 
on almost any basis the West will gain 
upwards of 100 members and the Atlan- 
tic States lose from 20 to 30 members. 
Long ago Mr. Cox grow weary of life In 
Congress. He was quite willing to ac- 
cept when President Clevoland appointed 
him Minister to Turkey. In writing to 
a friend at that time ho said : " The ad- 
vent of new men has pushed me to the

of my party on most themes, I was not 
oven able to command my old and favor- 
ite Foreign Committeeship or my former 
Smithsonian Regentship. always accorded 
to me even by Republicans-; besides, so 
aitieii work in Congress and no results 
the rolling, rolling, lolling up of the 
stone which rolled down 'with a resulting 
bound'i— the foolish modes and rules, 
which few in control cared little to cor 
roct— all this, and more, made me think ii 
was high time to seel; the land of leep 
and rest mi the banks of the Bosphorus." 
\ ■ i i year of the Orient was enough and 
Sunset is shining, again in his old famil- 
iar haunts. He has been beaten but once 
—in 1872 when he ran "at large." The 
winner died and in the .special election 
Sunset got the seat. He has a bronze me- 
dallion of Don Quixote fighting the wind- 
mids hanging over his study desk. It is at 
this desk that he works at Congressional 
matters, and doubtless he eft en compares 
his own efforts to reform tho business of 
Congress to this battle of Cervantes' 
knight with tho windmill. Mr. Cox is 
in his sixty-fourth year. It suggests 
what a mighly growth lias gone on in the 
west to be told that the father of Mrs. 
Cox built the first grain elevator in Chi- 
cago.

tor was then a Whig, one of the true 
blues of Iho "Tar State." It was noised 
about that Miss Hattie would not accept 
his proffer of marriage If he were de- 
fealed. The Whigs and Democrats who 
recognized In him one of the most popu- 
lar young men in the State vied with each 
other In giving him their support. When 
the returns wero counted Ransom was 
olectod by an almost unanimous vote, 
and the accomplished daughter of Roan- 
oke became the wife of North Carolina's 
favorite son. In 1861 he was one of the 
Peace Commissioners from his State to

ZEBULON BT VANCE. lj na ] n 1844, 
and harangued him on the propriety of 
political ambition. After going to col- 
lege In Tennessee, Vance was for a while 
clerk at the Warm Springs Hotel, a sta- 
tion that no doubt developed in him a 
certain inspired audacity that has won 
many battles for him In later life. He 
was the war Governor of the State, quar- 
reled with some of the theoretical poli- 
ticians, and was arrested at Statesville 
after the war. He spent several months 
in Ihe Old Capitol prison contemporane- 
ously with Capt. Wlrz. but fortunately 
with a different denouement. It took 
North Carolina a long while to elect 
Vance to the Senate. Although he re- 
ceived 95 votes in the legislature to 4)1 
i for the other fellow, Caleb Cushing was 
able to honey-fugle the Republican Sona- 
tors Into barring him out in spite of a 
majority report In his favor, written by 
Gen. Logan and having O. P. Morton's 
name appended to it. The legislature 
promptly elected Matt Ransom, whom 
disabilities had been removed, though both 
men stood equally guilty of being rebels. 
Zeb Vance is a good story-teller and he 
1 gets pretty much anything he wants on 
both sides of the Senate. The Senator 
has a son In the army.

Bill Scott is the Pennsylvania bower of 
Mr. Cleveland's administration. To his 
skewer is due the stiffness of tho Presi- 
dent's backbone on the tariff Issue. Prob- 
ably no man ever misrepresented so 
many millions of people as Mr. Scott 
does as the adtninistation representative 
from Pennsylvania. Hut It is his pleas- 
ure, just as his fast horses and his $1,400- 
a-thousand cigars are. He was born In 
Washington, and was once a page In the 
House— a case parallel to that of Sena- 
tor Gorman, of Maryland. The two ale

In build, has thin, clear-cut features and 
iron-gray hair and mustache. He gen- 
erally dresses quite jauntily in light cut 
away suits and with little display of 
jewelry. He is probably the worst 

speaker in the House, putting his Ideas 
In a naive, schoolboy 'shape, and speaks 
In a squeaky voice, anything but nice to 
hear. Mrs. Cleveland sat through his 
speech on the tariff, but took a rest up

He has 
always 
known the 
exact worth 
of what he 
wanted to 
buy and has 
paid a fair 
price for it. 
H i s first 
invest- 
ment was 
to buy ills lime of his father, paying for 
it $100. His father was a farmer and 
blacksmith, and the son learned to make 
a plough or shoe a horse as well as his 
father. He preferred lumbering and in 
that pursuit in Wisconsin has built up 
large wealth. Ho sat in Congress from 
the Oshkosh district ten years and then 
declined reelection. _.

Henry Smith, of Mil- 
waukee, is a sort of 
man without a country 
in this Fiftieth Con- 
pi'--. He was elected 
by the Knights of La- 
bor, or as he calls, 
them, the Labor party. 
Accordingly, Mr. Smith 
goes into neither Re- 
publican nor Demo- 
cratic party caucus, 
but treads the cold and 
narrow path between 
the two that just, at 
present seems to lead 
nowhere In particular. 
Henry Smith is an al-
